Source text - EnglishWhy Do So Many Internet Startups Fail Today?

Every day out there in the real brick and mortar world, millions and millions of people drag themselves from the warm, warm beds, take a shower, grab a cup of coffee, and head off to their jobs as they are thinking that there has got to be an easier way to make a living.

Every one of those millions and millions of people knows somebody who has quit the ‘get-up-and-go-to-work’ grind and is making a very good living by working on their personal computers from the comfort of their own homes.

Working from home sounds like an ideal solution to them. Many of these dissatisfied souls will quit their jobs and plunge head-first into internet marketing with no preparation, no knowledge of what they are doing, no education, and no hope of success. Failure is their only option and they don’t even suspect.

The fact is that according to many sources, more than 90% (Ninety percent) of all Internet business start-ups end in failure within the first 120 (one hundred twenty) days. Yes, you read that right. NINETY PERCENT!

This failure rate should be a warning to those who are considering trying their hand at making a go of working on the Internet rather than at a job in the brick and mortar world.

Of course, success is possible. There IS that other 10% (ten percent) that do succeed. The thing is success doesn’t happen by accident. And success isn’t just a crap shoot. Success happens because of some very important factors.

Introduction
Welcome to How to Improve your English. It is not intended to teach you English, you will have done that elsewhere whether it be in school at a language study or simply by conversation with other people and then watching television or listening to the radio. All of these methods will inevitably mean that you will have picked up some bad ways of saying something. The English people themselves make the same mistakes. We are not going to teach you English grammar, that is not important for the purpose that we have in mind. You wish to improve your English so that it can increases your opportunities in the workplace and of course that it will also improve your social life.
The language of most European countries are made up similar to that of the United Kingdom or English. It has consonants and it has vowels. The problem is that they have their own individual sounds for each letter of the alphabet and vowels. This in turn is why they have an accent in your voice when you speak another language. We cannot eliminate this immediately but by concentrating in pronunciation you will find that if you follow the sounds that we are going to use in the English language that your accent will gradually disappear. It would be of great assistance if you would obtain a small handheld recording device. Then after each section of the Cd record, what you have learned and play it back and hear yourself as others hears you.

Q. What is the "natural oxygenating substance" that The One-Minute Cure refers to -- and why don't you ever mention what that substance is on your website?

A. If we mention what the natural oxygenating substance is on the same website where we also report the various cures that it has brought about, we'd be violating FDA regulations, which prohibit anyone from claiming that any therapy, remedy or substance can "treat, cure or prevent any disease" because supposedly, only a drug can legally make such a claim. Furthermore, if we simply mentioned what the natural oxygenating substance is, we may actually be doing our website visitors a disservice because they might try to obtain the substance without first reading the book, thereby causing them to use it incorrectly -- and ultimately yielding no results or even experiencing adverse effects. The One-Minute Cure gives the exact protocol that one needs to follow in order to achieve optimum results safely.

What it is not: The natural oxygenating substance is not Miracle Mineral Solution (also called MMS), sodium chlorite, stabilized oxygen, chlorine dioxide, oxygenated water or water made by expensive ionizers. Rather, it is the only substance that increases oxygen and hemoglobin disassociation, thereby maximizing the delivery of oxygen from the blood to the cells. And this creates conditions in the body that enable the body to heal itself of virtually any disease.

Q. Where can you get this natural oxygenating substance? Is it available in any country?

A. Although the substance is not available at drugstores, health food stores and other retail establishments (with the exception of a few alternative-health pharmacies), it is available from dozens of online and offline sources by mail at a very low cost of approximately US$13.00 for 16 fluid ounces, which is a 2-year supply. As of the time of this writing, there is at least one supplier that will ship to any destination in the world. [Note: Our company does not sell this substance, nor are we affiliated with any of the vendors that sell it. However, after you purchase the book, we'd be happy to share with you the name and contact info of the company that supplies us with the substance for our personal use, as well as a list of suppliers in virtually every continent of the world.]

Q. Is it difficult to administer this substance? What does it entail?

A. It's extremely simple. All you have to do is put a specified number of drops of the substance into 6 to 8 ounces of distilled water and take it on an empty stomach 3 times a day. The substance has been given the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) designation by the FDA.

Q. How exactly does the one-minute cure work?

A. Curing disease is just a matter of identifying the CAUSE of disease -- and getting rid of that cause. The one-minute cure does exactly that -- gets rid of the cause of disease. Current medical research is focused on the wrong cause of disease. What complicates the process of curing disease is that everybody has a different opinion as to what causes it.

Here are just a few of the theories that most people mistakenly believe are the cause of disease:
• Viruses, microbes, germs and harmful bacteria
• Toxins in the food we eat, the air we breathe and the substances we consume
• Genes which make us susceptible to acquiring one disease or another
• The “mother” of all diseases -- stress.
While all of the above do characterize most diseases, or might be precursors or by-products of disease, they do not CAUSE disease. They're often mistaken as the cause of disease because their presence coincides with the presence of disease. Actually, the primary physical cause of all diseases is linked in one way or another to oxygen deficiency,

It stands to reason that supplying the body with sufficient levels of oxygen, which is the body's most essential element (without which humans die) is the key to preventing and curing diseases. Two-time Nobel Prize-winning doctor, Otto Warburg, shocked the world when he revealed that most disease is caused by insufficient levels of oxygen in the body.

The natural oxygenating substance described in The One-Minute Cure is able to heal virtually all diseases because it stimulates the movement of oxygen atoms from the bloodstream to the cells. It does this by increasing oxygen and hemoglobin disassociation, thereby maximizing the delivery of oxygen from the blood to the cells. Only when oxygen is delivered to the cells and tissues in this manner can disease be effectively eradicated.

Q. I find the concept of one cure for all diseases hard to believe. How can any single substance have such a far-reaching and broad spectrum effectiveness in curing diseases?

A. If you're like most people, the question, ‘How could anything so simple actually be the answer to all our complex health problems?’ has most likely entered your mind. To answer that question, here's an excerpt from The One-Minute Cure:

"Simple concepts are often the most powerful ones -- and yet usually the most ignored. This is particularly true in the health care field. Over the last seven centuries, we as a society have been programmed to regard the curing or healing of disease as a perplexing and complicated science that is best left in the hands of medical practitioners. As a result, we’ve come to rely almost exclusively on the information that is dispensed to us by doctors and health care providers who are themselves usually uninformed about alternative healing options that may be better for treating diseases than the standard medical treatments consisting of drugs, surgery, radiation or other therapies.

"At present, there exists a confusing array of so-called ‘best practices’ for every part of the anatomy, all tainted with bias to one degree or another. This has made the curing of diseases seem like a complex and mysterious science with its own language that is beyond the understanding of the non-medical population – like the scriptural Tower of Babel that brought about a confusion of tongues.

"What complicates the matter is that the field of medicine has given rise to a slew of organ-based specializations such as neurology, cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, urology, gynecology, endocrinology, etc. – as well as disease-based specializations such as oncology (for cancer), gerontology (for diseases of the aging) that each have their respective modes of treatment and therapy.

"The field of medicine, with its compartmentalized theories about what causes disease and how to eradicate it from the human body, actually perceives only a small snapshot of the larger picture, a localized subset of the larger workings of the human body. Furthermore, the ineffective medical system is focused on illness rather than wellness, and promotes expensive (i.e., profit-driven), invasive and potentially dangerous (or even deadly) medical procedures, drugs or treatments rather than simple, natural, inexpensive, effective treatments or therapies that have no side effects."

The path to true healing isn't complicated at all. All one needs to do is to take a closer look at the core of human existence. The human body is composed of 70%-80% water -- and water is 89% oxygen by weight. Therefore, oxygen comprises 62% to 71% of the body, and is the body’s most abundant and essential element.

Ninety (90%) percent of all our biological energy comes from oxygen. It is the essential element that the human body needs in order to not only survive, but also have optimum levels of energy, function properly and become more productive. Consider, for instance, that humans can survive for weeks and even months without food, and live for many days without water. But we cannot survive more than a few minutes without oxygen.

It stands to reason, therefore, that the very element which is required by all humans in order to live is also the secret to keeping us disease-free. There is a mountain of evidence amassed over the last 170 years and reported in over 6,100 articles in scientific literature that attest to this healing truth. (See pp. 8-12 of The One-Minute Cure for complete discussion.)

Q. Why aren't there any testimonials from people who have been cured of diseases posted on your website?

A. We actually have thousands of real-life testimonials from real people who have successfully reversed a wide variety of diseases via the one-minute cure. However, both the FDA and FTC prohibit us from posting them on this website because as far as they're concerned, "only a drug can legally make the claim of treating, curing or preventing disease." In our opinion, this is all part of Big Pharma's stranglehold on free information about your health, and their aggressive attempts to hide natural healing therapies from you (so they can enrich themselves from your continuing pain and suffering).

But the results speak for themselves -- there is an extensive number of diseases that have responded well to (and have been reversed by) the simple natural therapy described in the book. Alternative health practitioners, as well as researchers and doctors, have yet to find a disease that does not respond well to this therapy. And best of all, when used properly, there are no known risks.

Q. Why should I use the one-minute cure instead of all the other therapies I’ve heard about that
also supposedly cure cancer and other diseases?

A. To answer this question, I first have to emphasize that I’m not making the claim that the scientifically proven therapy I reveal in the book “cures” any disease. It simply brings the cells and tissues of the body to an oxygen-rich state – and the body then CURES ITSELF of virtually all diseases.

You've probably encountered many so-called cancer cures such as Sodium Dichloroacetate (DCA), Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), and things like the administration of sodium bicarbonate to the breast or bladder area via catheter (which supposedly cures cancer in 6 days).

Such claims may sound impressive until you consider the fact that there are few other doctors (if any), studies, or research papers that corroborate those findings. Therefore, the claims of curing cancer may just be a fluke lacking neither scientific evidence nor information on long-term risks.

In contrast, over 6,100 articles in European scientific literature have attested to the success of the simple therapy I describe in The One-Minute Cure. Furthermore, over 15,000 European doctors, naturopaths and health practitioners have administered it to millions of patients to heal over 50 different diseases, including the “Big 3” – cancer, AIDS and heart disease. Last but not least, the therapy has had a track record of successful use for over 170 years, with no known risks when used properly.

Q. Is The One-Minute Cure available in bookstores?

A. No, it's not currently available in bookstores. Since there's a possibility that this book could be forced out of circulation by the FDA due to the pressure of the pharmaceutical industry (whose trillion-dollar revenues are threatened by this simple cure), we purposely do not print more than just a handful of copies at a time. The physical edition of the book is manufactured on a print-on-demand basis only. You can order it by clicking on the "Own This Book" button below and when you arrive at the order page, choose the "One-Minute Cure (Physical Edition)" option. Your book will be shipped via First Class Mail (within the U.S.) or via Air Mail (outside the U.S.) for a reasonable shipping

by Edgar Allan Poe
True! I get excited - very excited. But why do you say that I’m mad? How am I mad? My senses are not destroyed. My sight and my hearing are very good. And listen to me. See how coolly I can tell you the story. I cannot say how the idea first entered my head. There was no good reason. I felt no hate. I loved the old man. He never hurt me. I had no desire for his money.I think his eye caused the trouble. Yes, it was his eye. He had the eye of a large bird – a bird that feeds on dead bodies. When his eye fell on me, my blood always went cold. So one day I decided to kill the old man and destroy that eye.You think I’m mad? Madmen don’t know what they’re doing! But I knew – and I was clever. I was very kind to the old man during the week before I killed him. And every night, at midnight, I opened his door – very gently. When the opening was just wide enough for my head, I put in a dark lamp. The lamp was completely closed; so no light shone out.

Source text - EnglishNatural Resources: Exporting and Importing
The location of the world’s natural resources, also called commodities, determines the patterns of world trade. Some regions are abundant in resources; elsewhere, reserves are scarce or non-existent. As far as the industrialized nations are concerned, the United States and Canada enjoy the most favorable position. They are the dominant exporters of grains. The United States and Canada also have vast coal and oil reserves, as well as nonferrous metal deposits, such as copper, zinc, and lead, which these countries export. The United States is also a heavy consumer of natural resources, and it is increasingly reliant on certain imports, especially on oil. Japan, a highly industrialized nation, is very dependent and has to import 99 percent of its primary commodities. Western Europe produces nearly all the grain it needs but lacks other commodities to a great extent. The United States, Canada, Japan, and Western Europe all have to import tropical agricultural products from the developing nations.
GruaThere are basically three commodity groups: minerals, such as coal, copper, zinc, and bauxite; tropical agricultural products, such as cocoa, coffee, sugar, tea, and tobacco, which grow in tropical climates; and cereals, such as wheat, maize, and other grains, which grow in colder climates. While world consumption of resources is increasing at a fast pace, world reserves of many commodities are increasing equally fast.The amount of world reserves has been determined by exploration. Although the earth contains extremely large mineral deposits, some of these are not easily accessible. Also, in some cases, the quality of a mineral varies from one place to another. A great part of the world’s reserves may still be unknown because they are inaccessible. However, new ways to discover and exploit these reserves may yet be found. Efforts to conserve the environment sometimes clash with the advancement of technology.
